Lab rat test results

[Boni]

Hello all...Village idiot here.

Thought I would share with you the dumb thing I did to myself today.

I woke up feeling pretty good today. I haven't taken any Pyridum in a week and I was knocking down the burn with diet and baking soda water. I juiced carrott and beet for breakfast and felt wonderful. Went to the grocery store, hauled groceries up a flight of steps, cleaned the house and was on a roll!!!

UNTIL...... :bonk:

I had made a big batch of magic bars last night. Mostly using carob instead of chocolate, graham crackers, organic coconut (no preservs), butter, almonds and brazil nuts crushed and the DREADED SWEETENED CONDENSED MILK.

THEY LOOKED SO GOOD.. I have been so good for months and I just couldn't STAND IT anymore passing up all those great goodies, so, I ate a very small and incredibly delicious, sugary magic bar!!!

I looked at the clock it was 2:00pm. I said to myself, "Well, now we'll see how this goes."

BY 2:28...I could feel a burn coming on like gang busters. I quick drank some baking soda water and downed two Alka-Max tabs and 2 Calcium citrates. Withing another half an hour PAIN on my right side. I juiced more carrott and beet juice. Right now I am feeling somewhat ok, the burn has subsided a bit, but, it was truly AMAZING how I could feel the pain develop within my body so quickly!

What a lab rat I am! Testing myself that way! I am going to take it real easy at dinner and hopefully I will make it through the night. Thank God my husband is such an understanding man.

All prayers are gratefully appreciated!

Thanks guys.. I know it's a dumb post, but, only IC people understand this kind of madness.

No...it's not a dumb post. You reminded the rest of us that it is just not wise to fool with Mother Nature and give in to cravings. ;)

Seriously...the next time you start to feel the burn, along with all the other stuff you did, try drinking a couple glasses or bottles of spring water (a little at a time). You have to wash the offending stuff out of your body quickly, so you need to dilute your urine and get it out as fast as you can. Don't give it a chance to set around and irritate your bladder any more than it already has.

Thanks Sharon. I am still experimenting with what my triggers are. Last Summer I ate magic bars like they were goin out of style. Now, I can't tolerate even a small bite. Very discouraging since I loved them. It seems, the more I eliminate sugar out of my body, the more my body rejects it when I add it back in. I thought my bladder was healing. buit I detect heightened sensitivities.
It's amazing.
